From ecosystem ecology to landscape ecology: A progression calling for a well-founded research and appropriate disillusions

Landscape Online, 2008
In this paper, 1) a delineation of main theoretical, methodological and applicative issues of landscape ecology, 2) a comparison between landscape and ecosystem ecology, 3) a critical overview of actual limits of landscape ecology, are depicted.

What acceleration data from wildlife collars and animal body mass tell us about seed dispersal

Animal Biotelemetry, 2023
Background The seeds of many plant species can be dispersed over long distances in animal fur (epizoochory). Quantifying epizoochory in the wild is, however, challenging, since it is difficult to measure the retention times of seeds in fur.

An inferior competitor is a successful invader due to its stress tolerance and productivity

Scientific Reports, 2023
The invasion of ecosystems by non-native species is recognized as one of the most significant global challenges, particularly in semiarid regions where native biodiversity is already under stress from drought and land degradation. The implicit assumption

Drought sensitivity of beech on a shallow chalk soil in northeastern Germany – a comparative study

Forest Ecosystems, 2016
Background We compare the climate sensitivity of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in two forest nature reserves in northeastern Germany. The one reserve, Schlossberg, is characterized by shallow chalk soils, whereas in the other reserve, Eldena ...

Dendrometers challenge the ‘moon wood concept’ by elucidating the absence of lunar cycles in tree stem radius oscillation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Wood is a sustainable natural resource and an important global commodity. According to the ‘moon wood theory’, the properties of wood, including its growth and water content, are believed to oscillate with the lunar cycle.

Combining Dendrometer Series and Xylogenesis Imagery—DevX, a Simple Visualization Tool to Explore Plant Secondary Growth Phenology

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2019
Determining the effect of a changing climate on tree growth will ultimately depend on our understanding of wood formation processes and how they can be affected by environmental conditions. In this context, monitoring intra-annual radial growth with high
